A sincere THANK YOU to all our visitors for
your support in making our contest such a great success!

All the entries are absolutely
adorable, and brought a big smile to our faces! Our goal is to
try and make
stars of as many of our furry visitors as possible. However, much will
depend largely on the quality of the photos, as well as which
poses our graphic designer is able to work into our new template.
Hang in!

Anyone can enter the contest.

All dog breeds, shapes, sizes and colors are accepted.

You may enter as many dog photos as you wish
throughout
the duration of the contest. The deadline for submitting photos is
July 15, 2010. *** Due to popular
request, we are extending the deadline to August 31, 2010 ***

Photos must contain a dog (or dogs). Photos that
include people will be cropped if used. Photos that include names,
advertising logos, or markings on them will not
be accepted.

All
dog photos must be in color. They must be in focus and of good, clear
quality (brightness and contrast, no shadows, etc.)
to be useable.

We can
only accept email entries ( If you do not have digital images of your

The Dog Food Scoop team will decide on the winning
photos based on the best fit for our website
theme.

All entries
will be displayed on our website. The winners will be notified by

Photos that don't win the Scoop Dog Photo Contest
still stand a good chance of being used on future pages of our site.
